How to Write Every Day
And maintain the habit
I recently became a “write every day” writer, after staying in the “write a few times a week” camp for many years.
I’ve previously struggled with how often to write, but now I’ve fallen into a groove. And I’m not about to let up.
How do I manage to write so much?
Wherever you are, write.
I’ve written part of an article while waiting in a dentist’s office. I write on holidays and while waiting in line.
Long before the advent of laptops, Alexander Hamilton carried a portable desk with him, allowing him to write on the go. I’m the same way now with my phone.
It took me awhile to learn to ignore distractions and just write, but now I get much more writing done.
Don’t limit yourself to a specific place, like your laptop on a desk at home. Writing frequently allows you to make the most of your time and jot down ideas as they come. The moments would otherwise be wasted.
